I can not open a filled out pdf-form using Adobe Acrobat Pro X

I have a form in Indesign CS 5.5 and made it fillable with Adobe Acrobat Pro X. I enabled the 'additional features' to make the document a 'Reader extended pdf'. Whoever I send the form now, can fill it out and save it in (the free version of) Adobe Reader.
Problem is: when the recipients mail the filled out form back to me, I can not open the document. There is message that says: "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired."
However, when I receive the filled-out file not by email (MS Outlook on a IMac) but on a USB-stick or something, I can manage to open the document the way it was filled out.
I'm guessing something goes wrong in the mailing process...
Can anyone help me please?
Thanks!

Thanks for the advice!
I'm afraid though that the problem is situated with the provider of the sender (when I open the email with my hotmail or gmail-account, it' s the same problem).
The idea of compressing the forms into zip-files is not very usefull because - i'm guessing - 90% of the recipients have never heard about a zip-file and are surely incapable of making one.
Some other ideas?
Thank you though!

Filling out pdf forms using adobe professional 6.0

I am trying to complete a form that is only available in pdf format. The form has lines where you are supposed to enter your information. I am using Adobe Professional 6.0. The "touch up text tool" allows me to add the text, but it removes the lines on the form. Using the line tool, I am able to underline the text I enter, but the line doesn't print out. If I try to printing with the "print with comments" option, it prints the line, but it also includes a comment with each of the lines. I read that the later versions of Adobe Professional have a "typewriter tool"--which seems like exactly what I need. Is there anything similar to that available for the Adobe Professional 6.0. Thanks!

Thank you everyone for your input. I found the best way to enter the information into the form was to use the "text field" tool(under tools, advanced editing, forms). I had to change the properties for the text field a little, so that the information would show up correctly on the form. Thanks again!

How can I add a button to add multiple image in PDF from using adobe acrobat pro?

I have to create a pdf form using Adobe Acrobat Pro X.
In this form I want to add a button where I can add multiple images to the field.
I have tried using javascript event.target.buttonImportIcon(); and successfully add an image, but when I want to add the 2nd image it automatically overwrites the previous one.
Is there any way to solve this issue? I would like to have a form where I can add a lot of images in it. It is possible in word, but we really have to use adobe.
Thanks

Hi thanks for your answer.
I can add multiple button, but if there are 10 images that I wan to add, then I have to create 10 buttons.
Moreover, the pictures will be placed on top of each other and it means that you cannot see it clearly.

I have developed a fillable form using Adobe Acrobat Pro. The form has several fields and some of the information is captured in a bar code. What programs must be used to open the form to properly fill the form out? Adobe Reader, Adobe Xi, Ibook, etc.. I

I have created a fillable form using Adobe Acrobat Pro that contains several data fields with some feeding data to a barcode in the document. I have a "button" set up to save and send the completed form one it is completed. Some of the user are having troubles filling out the form as they are using various programs to do such as iBook, Adobe Reader, etc.... Sometimes the information is not transferred to the barcode and sometimes the "submittal button" doesn't function properly.
Please provide a solution or give me a list of the programs that must be used to properly open and fill out the form.
Greatly appreciated.

Best option is to use Adobe Reader (or Acrobat, of course) on a desktop computer (ie, not on a mobile device). Any other configuration is likely to be problematic.

Why can't I create Fillable PDF Forms using Adobe Acrobat X Pro and upload to Dreamweaver?

I can create fillable PDF Forms using Adobe Acrobat X Pro. I can email them to someone using Adobe Reader (free) and they can fill them, save and email to me. But when I upload the form to Dreamweaver CS5, the form is not fillable. And yes, I saved it as a Reader Extended PDF-Enable Additional Features.

I see no reason for this form to fail in Reader. Some questions for you.
1. On the system with Adobe Reader, what is the system and the version of Adobe Reader?
2. Are you viewing the PDF in a browser on the system with Reader, or in an Adobe Reader window?
3. If it's a browser
(a) what is the browser
(b) if you download the file instead, and open directly in Reader, what happens?

I've created a PDF form using Adobe acrobat. I created the forms from a PDF that I made using pages

I've created a PDF form using Adobe acrobat. I created the forms from a PDF that I made using pages and word on Mac running Mountain lion. How do I allow the user of the form to insert JPEG files when filling out the form and how do I allow the user to add more fields or groups of fields as needed.

The type of form yo're describing is possible if you create it in LiveCycle Designer. It may also be possible in Acrobat, but there are certain restrictions. The type of form is known as a dynamic XFA form. LiveCycle Designer is not available on the Mac, so you'd have to install the software on a Windows machine and learn how to create this type of form. The LiveCycle Designer forum here is a good resource for getting more help.
Reader 11 now supports creating new pages using templates with a form that you create in Acrobat (Acroform). This requires some JavaScript programming. It also adds support for using a button to display a page from a PDF, which can be an image or anything else a PDF can be. So the user would click a button, be prompted to import a page from an existing PDF, and the button (or a different button) displays it as its icon. This would require the user to convert the image to PDF first, which is relatively easy these days (e.g., using Preview on the Mac, or Word on Mac/Windows). This too involves a bit of JavaScript programming, but it's very simple and straightforward.

How do I add a functional "submit button" to a pdf form in Adobe Acrobat Pro XI ? I created the pdf form in Adobe Forms Central.

How do I add a functional "submit button" to a pdf form in Adobe Acrobat Pro XI ? I created the pdf form in Adobe Forms Central. It's for an online Diet Questionnaire. After people complete the form I'd like them to click "SUBMIT" and the completed form will be emailed to me.

This can be a bit confusing because Acrobat 11 comes with the desktop app that allows you to create simple PDF forms without having a FormsCentral account. Some people find this helpful, but you need to understand that when you generate the PDF form, it is Reader-enabled by Acrobat. In order to edit the form further in Acrobat, you have to create a non-enabled copy of the form. You do this in Acrobat by opening the form and selecting: File > Save a Copy
and opening the copy. It is not opened automatically.
You can now add a button and set it up to submit by email, either using a "Submit a form" action or the submitForm JavaScript method. You can set it up to include just the form data or the entire PDF, and will want to use a mailto type URL. Submitting the form to the FormsCentral server has a number of important advantages over email (much more reliable, more secure, etc.), so you might want to consider it.
If the form needs to be saved with Reader versions prior to 11, then you will need to Reader-enable the document. In Acrobat 11 you do this by selecting: File > Save As Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools

Problems in Windows 8 creating PDF documents using Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.5.5

I am running Windows 8 with the latest version of MS Office (version 14) and Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.5.5. I was not having any problems making/printing PDF documents until about 30 days ago. The only things that I can think of that have changed during this time period is 1) I updated my Office Suite to version 14 from the previous version and, most recently, 2) my Adobe Acrobat Reader program was automatically updated to the latest version. I ended-up uninstalled Adobe Reader becuase the new program became my default for openning all Adobe PDF files, even when I tried to force my computer to use Adobe Acrobat Pro as the default (becuase doing so allows me to edit docments with features not available in the free Reader version). When I go to print a Word document, for example, to Adobe Acrobat, the process stalls/stops at the point where you are supposed to choose a location to print/safe the new PDF document file. All I get is the Save-As Screen with most of the buttons and folder tree blank (see example below). After 5-10 seconds, "not responding" shows up in the title of the Save-As Screen and I have to click the "X" box in the upper right corner to abort. This problem seems to have first started when trying to print pictures from the Windows picture viewer. After a while long, I noticed that the same problem occured when printing from my internet browser (Firefox), but I coudl still print from Word or Excel. Now, as of the last couple of days, I can't print from any program except the basic Paint software program. I think this may actually be a Windows issue because when trying to toublshoot this problem, I re-installed Adobe Acrobat Pro and it did not help. I also tried making PDF documents using the free PrimoPDF software and had the exact same problem. I have no idea where to go from here. All I know is that I desperately need to create PDF documents and cannot! Please help!!

You're asking a lot of ancient Acrobat to work with an Office that never existed when it was made. "Just updated my office suite" is a massive change, and Window 8 didn't exist at that time either...

Filling in PDF forms in Adobe Reader Pro 9

I downloaded trial of Adobe Reader Pro 9. I need to fill in PDF forms for my job. I can't type anything in them. I enabled "Typewriter" but still can't type in them. Do I need to download an old Acrobat 7 or something to do this? Help! I need to do this by Monday (Dec 29).

There is no such thing. Check to see what you downloaded then get back to us for advice.

How to delete checkbox in pdf form using adobe acrobat professional 6.

USing Advanced Editing tools -> Touchup Object Tool , i have try to delete the checkbox, it deletes all fields and tables in the form and there is only text left on the form.

You do not use the "Object Tool" to edit forms. There should be a "Form" menu option and under this option you will have the opton "Edit form in Acrobat". This is the way one should edit/create a form in Acrobat.

I created a form, I hve no issue opening it up and filling it out personally.
My co worker can do the same.
However, when sent to a client, they can not fill out some of the fields when opening the form in adobe.
Why is this?

Adobe Acrobat, or Adobe Reader? And which version?

Clicking "Edit PDF form" stops Adobe Acrobat Pro 11 from working. [FIXED]

As the title says, whenever I click "Edit PDF form" in Acrobat Pro 11, it displays the message "Adobe Acrobat has stopped working" and then when I click OK it closes.
It is a fresh install. I tried reinstalling, by removing it first, i tried a repair, I also tried using Revo Uninstaller to clean up anything that was left after an uninstall, and still no joy.
Any help would be appreciated.
It is running on Windows 8.1 Update (x64), and the version number for Acrobat Pro is 11.0.10.
Thanks!
**Update**
While I was writing this I had an epiphany, so I checked the Windows application logs which logged the following error every time Acrobat crashed...
Faulting application name: Acrobat.exe, version: 11.0.10.32, time stamp: 0x547e97af
Faulting module name: nvd3dum.dll, version: 9.18.13.4121, time stamp: 0x5474d740
Exception code: 0xc0000005
which lists nvd3dum.dll as the culprit. This has something to do with my Nvidia graphics card or drivers (NVIDIA Quadro FX 4600)
So after a little research I discovered a little registry tweak which "specifies the number of seconds that the GPU can delay the preempt request from the GPU scheduler. This is effectively the timeout threshold. The default value is 2 seconds." (Quoted from MSDN)
So I added the REG_DWORD value TdrDelay to the key path HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\GraphicsDrivers, and changed the value to 8. After rebooting this seemed to have solved the issue I was having.
Here's a screenshot...
Hope this helps someone!

We created forms in acrobat 9 pro and now with XI pro cannot edit them. Error message states that livecycle designer is required to edit forms previously created in acrobat. Called tech support and waited for over an hour before being told that another product needed to be purchased for $300 more than the upgrade cost for acrobat pro XI!!! From the XI FAQ - The web site states:
The following customers are eligible for a free upgrade:
Customers who purchased a prior license to Acrobat and have purchased an upgrade to Acrobat XI Pro
Customers who have an Adobe Maintenance and Support contract or purchased Upgrade Plan eligible for an Acrobat XI Pro upgrade
Active Creative Cloud Complete members whose memberships started before October 15, 2012
The one-time LiveCycle Designer upgrade is available in English, French, German, or Japanese. Eligible customers can choose which language they would like to receive. Visit the Customer Support Portal to request an upgrade.
After entering in the needed info on the support portal was told that adobe will Not honor the sales rep & web site which both said we are eligible for the free upgrade. We asked for a full refund and will not longer be using any new adobe products. We went back to 9 pro forms work fine and adobe lost $. Nice work adobe - lie to customers and then act surprised that the customers want their $ back! They told us to just toss their software DVD in the trash where IT belongs, so we did!
Cheers,
Actiondan
